What do you do? Or think or even respond.  When the person your dating reminds you so much of your recent ex.  How do you cope with all the scents, deja vu and all the little things that remind you of her?  Just to lay down with your g/f and totally mistake her for your ex.  They might have similarities like hair, how small they are and their overall movement.  Almost ruining it by saying your ex's name but correcting yourself before it.  How do you get your ex out of your mind? What do you do?  It's not fair.  IT'S NOT FAIR!!

Corey- unfortunately many do go to people who have the same or similar qualities.  However, it does sound as though there's still a lot of feeling left for for your ex.  Be truthful with the current g/f, and any others that may come along during the transition period.  And, be honest with yourself.  It's an old cliche' but it's true- it will take time.  You will never forget one that you have loved deeply but how you respond to what was will change.  Good luck.

It certainly is hard, and I speak from experience.. Even thought it may seem unfair and painful, the pain will eventually fade.  Try to think of as little as possible, remember the good times, sure.  Feel the pain of the bad, how could you not?  But eventually you'll understand why it happened, or at least I did.  Don't be unfair to the new g/f, don't be unfair to yourself.  Strength to you.

Also, I think this post will be better recognized in Feelings, so I will be moving this post there contact me at lydera@hotmail.com if there are any problems.
